Former Penn State professor Zack De Piero claims college said English language is ‘racist’

By Olivia Land

A former professor is suing Pennsylvania State University for alleged racial discrimination, claiming the school forced him to teach students that the English language embodies white supremacy.

Zack De Piero, who previously taught English at Penn State Abington, claims that his direct report, Liliana Naydan, endorsed the view that “White supremacy exists in the language itself, and therefore, that the English language itself is ‘racist,’” Fox News Digital reported.

The accusation is one of many in the extensive suit filed by the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, which argues that De Piero “was individually singled out for ridicule and humiliation” because he is white.

According to the suit, De Piero and other Penn State faculty were encouraged to participate in anti-racist workshops and trainings, including one titled “White Teachers are the Problem.”

The filing also accuses the university of maintaining a “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” webpage — a standard practice for most universities and comparable institutions — that “disseminated racist tirades against White faculty and students,” the outlet said.

I agree. English language is racist! The only question is of the 7000 spoken languages on Earth, which languages are NOT racist? Chinese? German? Russian? Japanese? Arabic? Almost all of northern Europe? These places have almost zero so-called 'people of color'. Spanish will not work because it is a language fundamentally based on male/female distinction.

If English is racist because of 'White people', then what about all the other countries in the world? Are all their languages 'racist' too? Which language will replace English?

Liberalism is a mental disorder. These people are lunatics!
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Newspeak.
Does this answer your question?

@Fishrrman
Every country in the world is proud of their language and the heritage of their language. The only countries in the world on the path to Newspeak are America and the UK. The Spanish speaking people actually get angry when they hear someone say LatinX. (instead of Latino/Latina) Asian, African, Hebrew, Arabic, Slavic/Russian speakers will NEVER buy into the bullshit nonsense being pushed by whacko uberwealthy elitist nutjobs.

Most countries worldwide speak at least a little English. Are they all White people? Are they all "White Supremacist" racist oppressors? The whole concept that the English language (the most spoken language in the world) is somehow oppressive is so loony that it is unhinged insanity.

What this is really all about, is that there is a small minority of students who RADICALLY REFUSE to speak normal English. They are attempting to justify the pidgin English they speak by saying that 'real English' along with everything else in America is "RACIST!!!" They are justifying their own ignorance.
